The Lowdown
G’day, I’m Rusty. Let’s be straight with you: this outlook for the next 16 days is a tough one. The surf here is small and weak for the most part, with a long stretch of nothing worth paddling out for. The first real glimmer of hope doesn’t show up until Saturday the 25th of July, and even then it’s a tease. There’s a gap of about 10 days from the start of the forecast period until that first decent window, so don’t bother checking the cams before then.
The standout day is Saturday the 25th of July at Karramarro, a point break that’s inconsistent and for advanced surfers only. The swell coming from the NW at 3ft might not sound big, but it’s packing a long period of 12 seconds—proper groundswell energy with decent shape. The combined energy sits at 364 (moderate), and the morning is glassy, with light ESE wind doing nothing to mess up the face. Conditions will be clean, and those long-period lines will hold up nicely on the point. Crowds are likely here, so get out early.
The following morning, Monday the 27th of July, is also worth a mention. Glassy conditions again with ESE wind, but the swell drops to 4ft from the NW at 10 seconds. The combined energy is 235 (moderate), but it’s not as clean or consistent as the Saturday. Still, it’s surfable if you’re desperate.
Then Tuesday the 28th of July morning fires up with a bigger pulse: 5ft from the NW, period of 10 seconds, and combined energy hitting 507 (strong). With glassy conditions again, it’ll be punchy and clean. This is the second standout, but it’s only for experts—anything over 5ft is too big for beginners here. The afternoon gets chopped up by cross-onshore wind, so get on it early.
Beyond that, Wednesday the 29th of July morning has another glassy window with 5ft from the NW at 10 seconds, energy at 363 (moderate). It’s solid but not as powerful as Tuesday.
The rest of the period is weak, with small slop under 2ft and poor winds. The water temperature is about average for the time of year, nothing unusual. No kite-surfing interest here—the swell is just too small.
Signing off, Rusty.

Information about the Karramarro Surf forecast
The above surf forecast table for Karramarro provides essential information for determining whether the surfing conditions will be good over the next 16 days. A general guide to surfing at Karramarro can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu. Our Karramarro surf forecast is unique since it includes wave energy (power) that defines the real feel of the surf rather than just the height or the period. If you surf the same spot (Karramarro) regularly then make a mental note of the wave energy from the surf forecast table each time you go. Very soon you may start to choose your surf days based on the wave energy alone combined with our forecast of favourable offshore wind conditions. Our star ratings will help here and of course you will also find the usual wave height and period predictions on our surf forecasts as well as a full break down of the swell components under our advanced users option (to reveal that, click the little Einstein character under the tide times).
Further information to help with frequently asked questions about our surf forecast for Karramarro may be found under the help tab on the top menu and also by moving your mouse over the question marks on the surf forecast table itself. Please always bear in mind that the forecast is for near-shore open water and local factors at each surf break influence the actual breaking wave height, such as the beach / reef profile, water depths offshore and shelter.
